The African National Congress (ANC) Johannesburg has written to Gauteng Cogta MEC Lebogang Maile to ask him to invalidate the election of committee chairpersons during a chaotic council sitting on Thursday. Sixteen councillors from the Democratic Alliance, ActionSA, Patriotic Alliance, United Independent Movement and African Transformation Movement were elected to serve as chairpersons in various portfolios. The ANC had been eyeing those positions for its councillors.
